a Tinker Worth Meeting.


The man who rambles roundabout New
York with his little pine box ON his back
and n tinsmith's furnace in his hand and
sings at every other step: "Any UNI
brellas, wash kettles or boilers to mend, :"
is a familiar parsonage, but the dilapi-
dated specimen that blew into the police
bureau of The Mail and Express the other
day was a rara avis. His entire. kit of
tools was little black pot about the size
Of tomato can and fiat brush about
half an inch wide.
"Ye hain't got no umbrellers nor over
coats nor shoes We want done up, be ye!n
His question was so uncommon that
the writer was puzzled for minute and
hesitated while the peripatetic tinker con-
:inued:

and make it er genuine waterproof war
ranted never to leak, rip, stick or tear.
Eff ye are got rubber coat III size er
over fer ye EN- overshoe wOts worn I'll
make it good as new fer ye.n
A set of rubber lergings was the only
article the writer could find about the
place, and passing them over to the tinker
he bade him ''siZe 'cm over" The opera
tion consisted in painting the leggings in
such places as where the rubber was
worn away or cracked, and it is only just
to say that the work was well worth the
fifteen cents charged for it. The leggings
were really as good as new. The compo-
sition used in the work was dammar var
nish and nsphaltum in about equal quanti-
ties, to which little turpentine has been
added. The coating applied to rubber
goods restores their original appearance
and usefulness, and, according to the
tinker, sis an excellent compound for to
cover spots wot gifts on gossamer coats
and cloaks. New York Mail and Ex-

| A CHANGE.
Shirley became impatient to begin her
work. ......
Col Carstone seemed to get well, and
for time appeared quite the same. But
after q month or two, it became evident he
was not the same. He had been an unusually
calm, self controlled man before the accident
that befell him on the State Line turnpike.
Especially, though by nature quickly angry,
he had had his temper singularly well in
hand. Shirley noticed that he had become
unaccountably irritable. The slightest cause,
q trifle. threw him into an uncomfortable rage.
The first time she observed this they were
riding together in the little light carriage.
Her father was driving. A boy started up
before them in the road. then skunk to one
side. He was the forlornest characterization
of child, mass of rags and dirt. He was
O picture to excite profound pity, being
stunted and starved looking, with STOPPING
shoulders and narrow, hollow chest. He had
large blue eyes, that looked CLASSY above
his thin cheeks. But they were shifting
| furtive eyes, as if won't to glance from
side to side, looking for blow from behind,
or for something to lay hands Oh, and make
off with. He was wee, hungry faced Great
ure.
"What pitiful looking child" said Shir-
ley. ......, .,,........
"That? That's the little devil that lost me
the sorrel colt Get out Of the way, there,
you'll" .t....
Col. Carstone gave the child cut across
the poor little shoulders with bis whip. The
child cried with pain. iii
"Why, fatherm said Shirley. "How could
you do thatF'
"Let him keep out of my sight, then"
In all his life he had never spoken so be-
fore. She said nothing; not word till they
reached home Neither did the colonel.
But Shirley straightway gathered up some Of
Percy's clothes, basket of tho food that is
dear to tho appetite of boy, and went back
to the road, and found the half starved Great
ure, and fed and comforted him. Twas
poor little Rip, the baby tramp. She inter-
ceded with the local authorities for him. He
did not belong to Linwood parts, or indeed
anywhere else,
1--WE can do nothing for him. He's none
of ours" they said. ,tfF' .,.. -s.
"But you can't turn him out to starve, can
youa" she asked r... .g.... lss.r. .aa
They "reckoned" they couldn't do that,
hardly. So after some delay, and much
hemming and having, Rip, Nobody's child,
was sent to the county poorhouse. There he
had food and shelter, such as tlrey were. There
we leave him, for the present. But ne will
come in again Though he did not belong TO
Linwood, he belongs to this story.

CHAPTER Nv.
BESSIE IS ASKED IN MARRIAGE.

In due course John Mel got over his
sprained ankle and the other injuries inflicted
on him by the infuriated cock ostrich Ut Is,
by the way, a humiliating thing to be
knocked out of time by a feathered fowl,
and set to work to learn the routine Of farm
life He did not find this disagreeable task,
especially when he had so fair an instructress
as Bessie, who knew all about it, to show him
the way in which he should 60. Naturally of
an energetic and hard working temperament,
he very soon got more or less into the swing
of the thing, and at the end of six weeks be-
gan to talk quite learnedly of cattle and os-
triches and sweet and sour veldt. About once
a week or so Bessie used to put him through
a regular examination as to his progress; also
she gave him lessons in Dutch and Zulu, both
Of which tongues she spoke to perfection; so
it will be seen that be did ~not lack for pleas
ant and profitable employment Another
thing was that he grew much attached to old
Silas Croft. The old gentleman, with his hand
some, honest face, his large and varied stock
of experience, and his sturdy English charac-
ter, made great impression on his mind. He
had never met man quite like him before.
Nor was the liking unreciprocated, for his
host took wonderful fancy to John Mel.
"You see, my DEAR he explained to his niece
Bessie, she's quiet, and he doesn't know much
about farming, but he's willing to learn, and
he's such gentleman. Now, where one has
Kafllrs to deal with, as on a place like this,
you must have a gentleman. Your mean
white will never get anything out of a Kaflir;
that's why the Beers kill them and fiog them,
because they can't get anything out Of them
without But you see Capt. Mel gets ON well
enough with them. I think he'll do, my
dear, think he'll do" and Bessie quite agreed
with him. And so it came to pass that after
this six weeks trial tho bargain was finally
struck, and John paid over his 81, 900 and
took third interest in Mooifontein.
Now it Is not possible, in a general way,
for youngish man like John Mel to live in
the same house with young and lovely
woman like Bessie Croft without running
more or less risk of ENHANCEMENT. More es-
pecially is this SO where the two people have
little or no outside society or distraction to
divert the attention from each other Not
that there was as yet, at any rate, the
slightest hint of affection between them.
Only they liked one another very much, and
found it pleasant to be good deal together
In short, they wero walking along that easy,
winding road that leads to the mountain
paths of love- 1t is very broad road, like
another road that runs elsewhere, and, also
like this last it has wide gate Sometimes.

ana rnen, with a quick look, "why do you
call him my friend"
II imagine that he considers himself so, to
Judge from the number of times a week he
comes to see you," he answered, with a shrug.
"At any rate, he isn't mine, so am off
shooting. Good-by. I hope that you will
enjoy yourself"
"You are not kind, J" she said, in a low voice,
and turning her back on him.
In another moment he was gone, and Frank
Muller had arrived.
"How do you do, Miss Bessief" he said,
jumping from his horse with the rapidity OF
man who had been accustomed to rough
riding all his life. "Where is the .rooibaatje'
off tor
"Capt. Mel is going out shooting" she said,
coldly.
aAh, so much the better for you and me,
Miss BessieI We can have a pleasant talk.
Where is that black monkey, Jantjea Here,
Jantje, take my horse, you ugly devil, and
mind you look after him, or IN cut the liver
out of you'll"
jamie took the horse, with forced grin Of
appreciation at the joke, and led him off
round the house.
II don't think that jamie likes you, Mein-
heer Muller" said Bessie, spitefully, "and /
don't wonder at it If you talk to him like
that. He told me the other day that he had
known you for twenty years, y and she looked
at him inquiringly.
This casual remark produced remarkable
effect on the visitor, who turned color be-
meath his tanned skin.
"He lies, the black hound" he said, Hand
I'll put bullet through him IL he says it
again! What should know about him or
he about mel Can l keep count OF every
miserable man monkey meet" and he NUT
tered string of Dutch oaths into his long
beard.
"Really, meinheerr said Bessie.
@Why do you call me 'meinheerf" he
asked, turning SO fiercely on her that she
started back step. II tell you l am not q
Boer. I am an Englishman. My mother was
English; and besides, thanks to Lord Carnar-
Won, we are all English now."
II don't see why you should mind being
thought Boer," she said, coolly; "there are
some very good people among the Beers, and,
besides, you used to be great 'patriot.''
"Used to be-yes; and SO the trees used to
bend to the north when the wind blew that
way, but now they bend to the south, for the
wind has turned. By and by it may set t.
the north again-that is another matter
then we shall see.n
Bessie made no answer, beyond pursuing up
her pretty mouth and slowly picking Leaf
from the vine that trailed overhead.
The big Dutchman took off his hat and
stroked his beard perplexedly. Evidently he
was meditating something that he was afraid
to say. Twice he fixed his cold eyes on
Bessie's fair face, and twice looked down
again. The second time she took alarm.

checked himself.
"I have como to look for a black OK,

"Mr. Muller" said he, by way OF correction,
